While thumbing through the pages of this month’s Game Informer something caught my eye. Initially it was the large screen-shot of our favorite white-haired monster slayer Geralt doing what he does best contrasted against a lush and beautiful forest environment but then something else got my attention: the title The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings – ENHANCED EDITION. What was this? There had been no mention of an “Enhanced Edition” before? Naturally I felt compelled to read on…
As it turns out this new edition of the dark fantasy roleplaying game is the long awaited port to the Xbox 360 which originally had been slated for the fourth quarter of the previous year but has now been pushed back to the second quarter of 2012. The most curious thing of coarse are the details surrounding this new version of the game. Gamers should recall that the original The Witcher also had an enhanced edition that included a significant amount of content ranging from hundreds of game fixes and balances to entirely new NPCs, monsters, and adventures that added hours of additional gameplay.
This edition seems to be right in line with that. Developer CD Projekt RED has made numerous tweaks and fixes to the original game, further optimized the controls for the console (even though gamepad controls for the PC version were already in good shape), and is said to have added over four hours worth of new quests. The story-arc for these additional quests revolves around the kidnapping of royal heirs which will have the player experience new locations, characters, and dialogue.
Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any news about whether or not we’ll see an Enhanced Edition for the PC. Given the developers knack for providing downloadable content free of charge in the opening month or so of the game’s initial release I can’t possibly fathom that we wouldn’t see a free upgrade to this edition. Let’s all cross our fingers shall we? Four hours of additional quests and story would be more than enough for me to jump back into The Witcher 2 and experience the adventure all over again.

CD Projekt RED will reveal all of the important facts regarding Xbox 360 version of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings during the upcoming conference held in Copernicus Science Centre on the 26th of January.
We will be unveiling many exciting details about the game such as its release date, brand, new trailer, additional features coming to the console adaptation and many more.
"Witcher 2 on Xbox 360 is not just a simple port of a PC game, it’s an adaptation. Our newest game has been enhanced with many new features, and according to many specialists it’s one of the best looking games on Xbox 360 ever" – said Michał Nowakowski, Member of the board, CD Projekt RED S.A..

However, CD Projekt just started this project since the build we saw was only pre-alpha. Although it is still early, the game performed relatively well and looked fantastic. The funny thing is, during the presentation the team seemed almost apologetic about how it looked on the Xbox 360. They went out of their way to point out that great art design matters more than higher resolution textures and that even people who played the PC version of the game on the lowest settings still thought that the game looked nice. From where I was sitting, this was one of the best looking Xbox 360 games that I have seen, and it's still only pre-alpha. I guess it goes to show you that a different perspective, me being primarily a console gamer, makes all the difference.
